Synopsis

This book was the first to describe the whole range of British constructions in India. The text and accompanying photographs illustrate these buildings not simply as physical objects, but as reflections of an empire's mingled emotions and changing history. As such, Stones of Empire remains the classic work on British architecture in India, providing the perfect overview of a unique enterprise in architecture, engineering, and social adaptation.
